1 Forests and Finance Key Findings November 2016
2 Introduction In September 2016, TuK, Profundo and RAN launched the website ForestsandFinance.org. This website contains a searchable database of financial services received by a selection of 50 major companies directly involved in the production or primary processing of palm oil, pulp & paper, rubber and tropical timber, whose operations impact natural tropical forests in the Asia-Pacific region. This document presents a number of charts with some of the key findings form the analysis of the data. When analysing the data and the findings, it is important to keep in mind that it reflects only publicly available financial data: syndicated loans, underwriting and shareholding. The dataset is therefore an underestimation, as it does not include information on financial transactions that are not public, like direct lending, nor does it include some information on some major companies that are privately held, and for which financial information is not publicly available. 2
3 Key Findings 3 Malaysian financial institutions are the most important investors in forest risk sector companies, in South East Asia. Malaysian financial institutions scored 0% on their policy assessments. Indonesian financial institutions play a very small role in financing the four studied sectors. Asian financial institutions are the main investors in the four sectors, while European and American banks have the best policies. Most of the finance goes to the palm oil sector. Malaysian financial institutions invested heavily in the palm oil sector, and nearly nothing in the pulp and paper sector. Chinese financial institutions invested heavily in the pulp and paper sector, and nearly nothing in the palm oil sector. Very little finance was found for the timber sector. Felda, Sinar Mas and Olam International are the top 3 companies that received most loans and underwriting services.
